Riptide confused Optimus. He confused Optimus more than anything he had ever seen in his life, well, beside from…
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, one of the many traits he had picked up from the humans he spent so much time with. He shouldn't be thinking of them, they were lost, lost to the war that had ravaged not only their home but everything they held dear.
Even now, it destroyed all that they loved.
So that Riptide was such a puzzle to him, was something that troubled Optimus more than anything. Almost anything…
He shook his head, again his thoughts drifted to a dangerous past that he didn't want to remember right now. Live in the future, for the past cannot be changed.
So why then did the memories remain?
He sighed and walked out of the main hanger, recent events had forced old memories to the surface and Optimus needed some time to sort his thoughts. To retain his usual calm, as was expected of him as a leader.
He walked to his private recharge room and sat on the berth, leaning forwards to put his head in his hands. He needed to just relax, it was good to remember happy memories once in a while.
"Papa, why do you fight with uncle?" Nightstreaker asked her father whilst perching precariously on the edge of his berth, hanging on from his fingers as she pranced around him with her sisters.
Elita glanced up at their eldest and Optimus paused for a moment before replying.
"We had an argument, but I'm trying to fix it, promise" He told her and she nodded before turning to Lonestar and Tripwire.
"I miss Skycharge" Lonestar muttered to herself and Tripwire nodded in agreement as the two femmes and one mech continued to clamber over their father.
"Papa, why don't you go and change the argument?" Tripwire asked his father and Elita smiled a little as Lonestar leapt into her arms and turned to see her fathers response.
"The past cannot be changed, that is why it is past" He told them and Nightstreaker frowned.
"So why then do the memories remain?"
He sighed and laid back on his berth to recharge, he hadn't 'slept' as the humans called it for several days, so catching up on his recharge could not hurt.
Silas, was frustrated. He hadn't expected Jack or Sasha to survive this long, not with their new view on life. It could be that the Autobots had taken their friends change better than he had previously expected…
…or they still did not know the truth.
If that was the case, then Silas knew exactly what he had to do. After all, you don't keep secrets from you so-called 'family' now, do you?
Jack stood with Bumblebee as they surveyed the area, hiding in a small clearing hidden by the same mountainous area that hid the base.
"If she has some kind of ability, I'm willing to bet that you do to" Bumblebee had told him and had launched attack after attack at Jack, trying to unlock whatever ability it was that Bumblebee suspected he had.
"Bumblebee, maybe I don't have a special ability, you said they were one in what? A billion?" Jack asked and Bumblebee nodded but held up a finger.
"You remember I said that the ability Rosestorm has was recorded only three times in history files?" Bumblebee asked him and he nodded.
"Well, at the same time twelve other abilities were reported, if she has an ability, I'm willing to bet my T-cog that you have an ability as well" Bumblebee insisted.
It was true, one ability did not arise without the other twelve in almost immediate succession.
Twelve possibilities, twelve very unknown abilities and Jack could have one of them.
It just seemed a bit incredulous in his eyes, but heck. He wasn't about to argue with the only person who knew the truth.
For six more days…
He sighed and continued to block (or take) more of Bumblebee's training strikes.
Rosestorm had known it was going to be strange from the start, training not only with the cranky spider-chick, but the masked silent weirdo, but this was slightly weirder than anything she had been expecting.
"Let go" Arachnid hissed and Rosestorm watched as Soundwave continued to hold down the cranky PMS spider with several large tentacle like tubes as he faced Rosestorm calmly.
"Your foolish to challenge me" Soundwave played and Rosestorm raised an eyebrow as Arachnids own words were repeated.
"Did you see that move? Repeat it" He then played and she stared at him.
"I don't have any…tentacles?" She offered trying to think of the right word but coming up short.
"Then use your brains" Knockouts voice scorned and Soundwave lunged.
Short but sweet.
Bio team2, thanks, oh and I blame you, I have now started saying "EPIC FACE" whenever I do something extremely cool. My friends are not impressed.
JazzGirl221, I enjoy quoting to pee people off, it's just funny.
Richard'sQueen aka LGFS, Aaaah, I see. Jack is my favourite (human) character, I can relate to him in certain ways. Also, Bumblebee is going to have to be very tactful in order to drop that bomb…
Lionfire42, it kind of is isn't it! One minute she's normal (ish) and then she's all "DIE LITTLE HUMAN DIIIIEEEE!" Certainly reminded me of PMS.
Read and Review guys!
